Greetings everyone and happy Summer 2017! I’ve got several projects I’m working on at the moment. In audiobook narration I have recently made some new contacts in the industry, and have submitted demos and my desire to work with new clients in audio. I’ve also been regularly submitting auditions for new titles. At the same time I have begun upgrading my studio so my work processes are simpler and easier. This includes outfitting my Studiobricks booth with the equipment to do punch and roll recording, a timesaver that many...

I am pleased — excited — even ecstatic — to announce the release of my latest audiobook: Seven Tales by Philip K. Dick. I’ve been a fan of science fiction and fantasy for a very long time now. My first experience with Philip K. Dick was the movie Bladerunner sometime in my teen years. I soon after hunted down a copy of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? the novel on which the movie was based. It was incredible, timeless, classic science fiction. When I was offered a project narrating some of Mr. Dick’s early...

I’ve had a lot of people ask me how I became an audiobook narrator. Audiobook narration is, at its heart, a task that requires a creative performer with a love of storytelling. I think just about any audiobook narrator will tell you that getting where they are takes time, talent, training, and money. I’ve always loved stories. When I was young, I remember my parents reading stories to me. My father, in particular, was adept at creating character voices and telling stories to me out loud. In time, I read books to myself, and the...

I’ve always wanted to write science fiction and fantasy stories. Very early in my life my grandfather let me borrow his beautiful gold-embossed copy of The Hobbit. It was a book that would have a large impact on me. Not because it was beautiful, though it was, but because the story spoke to me in a way no other story had. I remember carefully paging through the gold-embossed pages, with the wonderful original illustrations drawn by Tolkien himself printed inside. Though the beauty of the book left an impression, most of all I remember...
